Ten years after its revolution, Tunisia is struggling to begin its economic transition.
Inflation, unemployment, deficit and debt have become leitmotifs in political discourse, with a recession at 9% and public debt approaching 90% of GDP.
Among the population, discontent is growing in the face of rising prices and lack of work, made worse by the health crisis.
Will the country manage to emerge from this crisis which undermines the achievements of the democratic transition and the revolution?
